"Mrs. Elizabeth Munson, mother of D. A. Munson, died at her son's in Franklin Twp, Columbia County, on Thursday, the 5th , after an illness of nearly six weeks. The deceased was born 7 Jul 1797. Her father, Christian Atherholt, was one of the first settlers in the back part of Kingston Twp, Luzerne County, when all was a wilderness, for I have often heard her tell about the hard times when their small crops were cut off by the frost. Once I remember her telling that all they had to eat was milk and roasted apples, also that she had worked a week for a yard of calico. She used also to tell about the wolves howling in packs nearby and some of them venturing even to come on the roof of their log cabin.
